Things have taken a turn in this last week!

Pelvic girdle pain, back pain and everything just feels so much more difficult, even walking. At 36 weeks, I’m really grateful that I’m only just starting to feel this way as so many women struggle for the majority of their pregnancies.

So it’s important to use these final few weeks to prioritise rest, connection and movement where possible. It’s not selfish, it’s necessary! 💜

There have been a lot of things over the years that the fitness industry has taught women, that aren’t necessarily true - these are just some of them!

Whether you need to work harder, eat less, or increase your cardio is all dependant on your goals. This isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach and everyone will need something slightly different.

However, when it comes to ‘you’re too old to lift heavy’
this is always wrong! You’re never too old to start and it’s never too late to get into the gym. As we get older, strength training becomes more important to support bone and joint health, whilst allowing you to continue doing the things you love.

And it’s totally normal to have some time off, especially when you go off on holiday with your partner, family or friends. That time off is not going to ruin your progress, but it’s your ability to come back to that routine straight away that will make the difference between succeeding or not.

If you’re looking for personalised workouts and nutrition, I have 1-1 online coaching spaces available 🙌 Let’s have a chat about your goals and start getting some things in motion! đŸ’ȘđŸ»

For most women, 2-4 well-structured strength sessions alongside regular movement is plenty.

Building muscle and, if appropriate for you, reducing body fat is what creates the appearance most women mean when they say they want to “tone”.

Your overall diet matters far more than whether you have the occasional takeaway, chocolate bar or glass of wine.

If you’re constantly doing something different, you’re making it harder to know whether what you’re doing is actually working. Give good programming time to work.

Your body changes as you age, but “my metabolism has completely stopped working” isn’t an explanation for every change in body composition.

If you’re exhausted, stressed, sleeping badly and constantly trying to squeeze in another workout, the answer might be more recovery, not another HIIT session.

You may need to adapt your training, nutrition and recovery as your circumstances change, but women don’t suddenly need to abandon everything they knew about exercise because they hit a particular birthday.

Being strong, fit, capable and healthy is a pretty good goal too.

Consistency doesn’t mean doing the same thing every day. It means adapting the thing so you can keep doing it throughout the different seasons of your life.
